- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of youth’s participation in experience activities on emotional (self-esteem), social (friend relationship, collaborative competency), and academic (academic achievement) development. In this study, not only the cross-sectional effect, but also the longitudinal effect (lagged effect and amplified effect) was explored. KCYPS data were used, and causal inference using longitudinal propensity scores were applied. The result of empirical data analysis showed there was a significant cross-sectional effect of participation in experience activities on the social (collaborative competency) development. In addition, there was a significant lagged effect of participation in experience activities on emotional (self-esteem), social (friend relationship, collaborative competency), academic (self-reported academic achievement) development. It was also found that the sequential participation of experience activities had a significant amplified effect on academic (academic achievement) development. The results of this study indicated it is necessary to approach from a long-term perspective in treatment effect of youth’s experience activities.
